    From post #11 by DavidE.


    You need to make some choices of what you can remove from the [C] drive.
    You have tried or checked all the normal things. Your problem is you need more free space, Period.

    Your out of choices. You either get a bigger drive, install another drive to store things on or remove things from the "C" drive/partition you have.

    Their are no magic tricks.

    You should clean that Users folder some, copy unused/less frequently accesses files to an external to make space.

    Post another screenshot of C:\Users\youraccount

    also notice C and Users modified dates are 2021 ?!

    Click the + icon to the left of a folder name, that will expand the folder so you can see where the most used space is in the folder.
    You need to "drill-down" that way to see what you have, and decide what you need ...
    As GokAy said, look at Users first, that's where most of your space is used.

    You also have 23.1 GB used in Program Files.
    To me that's a lot, I'm using 5.8 GB on a Win7 OS that was installed over 5 years ago, 100+ programs installed.
    Take a look in that folder for what uses a lot of space.
    Some programs you need may normally use a lot of space there, but check it out.

    29 files in the root of C, totaling over 5 GB?? I've got none.

    How much space are you allowing Symantec logging to take?

    Do you have even a rough estimate of how much of the 126 GB in C:\users is personal data--videos, mp3, Word docs, Excel docs, pictures?

    You have 23 GB in program files. I've got less than 2. What percentage of your apparently many programs have you used in the last 3 months? The last 3 years?
